Run the Memtestx86 and you will find out the ram status. If it passes, run chkdsk c: /r /f it will fix the errors in c drive in which paging file is present, will take a while depending the size of the drive so relax. Hope it will fix your problem :)

Not usually.

If a process requests more memory than the OS can allocate to it the process is responsible for handling the failed allocation. How this error is handled is a discretionary decision by the application developer. Properly developed programs will not crash due to a lack of memory, but they may not function as expected and may exit on their own accord.
